Sources

• Apple pectin can be purchased in capsules or tablets, as a powder and as a juice. You can find it naturally too in raw apples, apple cider vinegar and apple cider old wine. Some older jellies may also contain pectin, though modern day jelly making does not use it.
  
  

Benefits

• Bad cholesterol can be lowered or removed from the intestines by taking apple pectin. It helps to regulate abdominal function, reduce diarrhea and may assist in the removal of poisonous substances from the stomach. It's also a moderately potent anti-oxidant and can help delay the absorption of glucose, making it useful for diabetic animals.
  
  

Administration

• To administer a dose of apple pectin to your cat, you can mix the powder or juice in his food or water. If this is not effective, you can feed him a capsule or tablet directly. You should administer the medication roughly the same time each day.
  
  

Dosage

• All dosages differ from cat to cat, depending on the weight, species and form of the pectin being applied. Please consult your veterinarian for the proper figures to avoid an accidental overdose or reaction with another drug.
  
  

Warning

• Never exceed the recommended dosage set by your veterinarian as constipation may occur. Take your cat immediately to the vet if fever, limpness or any other unusual side effects occur. Interactions with other drugs, such as lincomycin and digoxin, may occur.
